A data structure is a group of data elements grouped together under one name. These data elements known as members can have different types and different lengths.
Data structure means how the data is organized in memory.There are diferent kind of data structures. Some are used to store the data of same type and some are used to store different types of data.
a data structure is defined as a way of representing data in computer memory it may int type to complex data involving many types exstructure.data structure is of two types linear and non linear .linear implies to array and non linear implies to linked list
A small mistake in the above comment..!Data Structures are of two types...They are 1.(linear) Sequential -- linkedlists trees 2.(Non-linear) Non-Sequential -- Arrays ( Since U can access any value directly from an Array Ex: arr[2] arr[7] )But in linked lists u should go one by one to access a particular location..! hence it is sequential..!
